When you are developing an action mod, it can be useful to
perform test runs of actions along the way, to make sure the scripts work as
intended. When doing test runs of your actions, you can save configurations of
actions containing parameters so that those actions can be run again with the
same configuration, or be used later on, for example on an action trigger in a
visualization or an action control in a text area.
Before you begin
You must have the
Develop Mods license feature and the analysis must be in Editing mode. The
action mod containing the action you want to test run must either be available
in the analysis or in development. For more information, see
Developing mods.
Procedure
-
On the menu bar, select
to open the
Mods development tool.
-
In the sidebar to the left, click the mod containing the action
you want to test run, and then open the
Test tab.
-
Click
Test run.
-
In the flyout that opens, select the action you want to run and
click
Next, or
Run if the action does not have any
parameters.
-
If the selected action has parameters, provide the necessary input
in the flyout that opens, and then click
Run. For actions with parameters, you can
enter a name for the configuration to save it with the specified input for the
parameters. See
Configuring action parameters to learn more
about the available options.
The action is run. You can view existing configurations on
the
Test tab of the
Mods development tool as well as in the details
view of the
Actions flyout.
Tip: Enter a descriptive name for the configuration if
you intend to use it later on.
